UAE envoy to Kabul dies of wounds from January bombing

The UAE's ambassador to Afghanistan has died of wounds sustained in a January 10th bombing in Kandahar that also killed five other UAE officials, AFP reported Wednesday (February 15th).

Ambassador Juma Mohammed Abdullah Al Kaabi had been leading a UAE delegation to the provincial governor's office in Kandahar when the bomber struck, killing 12 people instantly.

Both he and governor Humayun Azizi suffered serious burns.

The attack was one of a spate of bombings that hit three Afghan cities on January 10th, killing 57 people.

The Taliban claimed responsibility for twin bombs that hit a parliamentary annexe in Kabul and a suicide bombing in Lashkar Gah in Helmand province, but did not claim the Kandahar attack.
